Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 7mm 160gr Accubond vs 160gr Partition

IIRC he was around 270 lbs.

I shot him at a place we called "Aoudad Point" . It was a remote spot at the back of the Rex Kelly ranch that back up to Lost Maples State Natural area. At the shot he ran over the ridge and down the other side, a distance of 50 yds. or so downhill. I walked up to him to try to turn him over to find the point of impact. I could not do it. I got a small trailer and hooked to my 4 wheeler that had a lift gate. I got my brother to go with me. I tied a rope to the four wheeler and drug him up to the top. Between the two of us we were able to drag him up the ramp and load him on the trailer.






I shot one I deemed larger a few years ago, but I did not recover him. It was a cross canyon shot and was just over 300 yds. away and I was shooting a 308 Win, zero'd at 100 yds. I heard the whop of the bullet. He bunched the hit and ran straight down hilI. I looked for him off and on for a month, never found hide nor hair.

These are pix of the dude taken at a remote spot two months before I caught him coming over a ridge.








He was a stud. I sure hated not recovering him.

One more pix, just fer schitz n' giggles



I call this pix, "just some good ol' boyz".

I will shoot a ewe each year for sausage, but I've refrained from shooting a ram the last few years as I wanted them to proliferate. If I happen to see a good one this year I may just try to pop him!

ya!

If you had to pick one for Whitetail under 150-200 yards AND use the same round for Elk up to 500 yards, assuming both shot the same out of your rifle, which would it be?

As far as it goes, the 150 gr. Ballistic Silvertips seem to do just fine!




7 mag. 150 gr. Ballistic Silvertip (a two-fer)
